Railroad Tycoon 3

Railroad Tycoon 3

Windows 10 Not Working
I have a Lenovo LEGION Y740 Gaming Laptop - 9th Gen Intel Core i7 - GeForce RTX 2060 - G-Sync 144Hz 1080p Display attempting to play Railroad Tycoon 3. I have the issue of "no hardware accelerated DirectX 8.1 devices/drivers were found." I followed the solution that is widely used here, but for some reason, it hasn't worked. Can someone please help me?

then buy older games to previous OS, require you read other threads, or stop buying game to system you dont have, this is just such game, and im tired of new generation think, you are intitle to even comment on it, sure i could say you need skill or more experience to get it to work.

and then you get older you will understand i said same thing, noone can help you if you dont know basic and how to fiddle with it and get it to work.

im not after you, it a choise you need to make , stuggle with it and get it to work or dont buy outdate games that no pc has anymore. ( do read other post. best option, but you need to understand steam has a issue, every steam user think i can make post and say something, that will result in millions of user that dont read or know current issue and think 172+millions user that is active, there is simple not experience user enough to cover all.

steam is begining to drowning in own success, as many say.

i could say read this and that, problem is not my job.
and if you notice alot of people have help with game, try locate info. and solve this yourself.

this is the issue
I have the issue of "no hardware accelerated DirectX 8.1 devices/drivers were found.
you need dx9 directX i think and i bet if you dont try the other solutions many have explan then you will never get it solve.

again later you will see im not after you, i try educate you to take action on it yourself


just google this
Steam Now Has One Billion Accounts (And 90 Million Active Users)
you could say sure i have right to comment , but have you even read other post with solution maybe before you did it.

I have had this same issue and I think the rtx 2000 series has broken the game. I have used some EXTREME methods to fix this such a wiping my computer. I then installed linux and used the steam's special software to make all windows games run on linux. Also it works in virtual box.

Ultimately I think someone will have to make a new patch for the game for this even to work until then I don't think anything will fix this.

I already tried the game.cfg fix and it didn't work just as you did too.
Let me say that again

THE GAME.CFG FIX DID NOT WORK. EDITING THE SETTINGS FILE DID NOTHING.


EDIT: I found someone who said this worked http://dege.freeweb.hu/ yea tried it and it does not work for me.

If you would bother to read his post he already tried to fix the game via the fixes other people proposed.

In regards to the problem in general. We need a new fix for the RTX 2000 series graphics cards as it seems their drivers (for windows atleast) are broken for this game. As far as I can tell it is the graphics cards and the drivers for windows as it works fine in vbox and linux.

Yes, but why is this a problem at all? If STEAM is hosting the game then it should be compatible with modern platforms.

it should work without the vistafix (which only set the Ram limit from 2GB to 4GB):
activated DirectPlay
installed dx9 runtime

Whoa dude!! Take a chill pill. The OP just asked a simple question. No need to give him any attitude.

@ Buckshot , this has already been report to steam moderator and you are 3month later with reply, and nothings has change, this is a old game and require alot of effort to get it to work.
this is not compatible with newer system. ( and it still all steam users own faulth for not understand this. dont buy older game that is not support anymore to even steam, there is only win10 left soon, this game require change, to get it to work )

ps.
this is exatly the problem with steam and all its user. ( they dont read and some even wake years old necro threads )

For anyone struggling with this, the config fix above does not work for many nVidia cards. However, the fix that Silver posted worked perfectly for my Win10/1080Ti system. Get dgVoodoo and copy the x86 dll's to the main game directory.

Even if you don't have any crash issues, I'd recommend giving it a shot because it allows you to enable hardware t&l, which is so much smoother.

then stop reply to me, either you dont know how steam forum work, read post and get it fixed, most new gen ppl dont read at all. ( this has been done in over 30 years , read other post )

and what happend, you still need to modify it and get it to work. ( dont buy games thats outdate if you dont want to struggle with it. )
